Any bets on:
bets, no but here are my guesses
1) When Toshiba joins the BD consortium
no idea (by the way it is BD association)
2) When Toshiba produces their first BD-compatible player
3-6 months would my guess if they piggy back on someone else (like Samsung)
3) When the first BD drive is released for the Xbox 360
no idea, what would it need? obviously HW wise it is just a normal USB drive, but I guess it would need SW. It also becomes more complicated because MSs support of HD DVD was all about slowing down BD, but now will they
a) think there is a market (let's face it many 360 fans got burned by buying the HD DVD add-on
b) think they need it (i.e. does it make the 360 look inferior without it compared to the PS3)
4) When Universal and Paramount announce that they are jumping ship
If Toshiba does announce they are dropping HD DVD in 3 hours then I would guess it could be even this week? but from just before CES I thought before the end of the quarter as most likely.
what are your guesses
